Ranks are overall positions among all 2025 girl names, so gaps between rows are real. For a random shortlist, spin X girl names in the generator, or scan the full top 100 girl names.
How common is X as a first letter for girls in 2025?
Among the 2025 top-1,000 girl names, 3 begin with X; summed, their births are 0.2% of the whole list, the 24th-largest share among the 26 initials. Tier by tier, the 2025 overall top 100 claims none of the table's 50 names, the 101–500 band claims 2, the 501–1,000 band claims 1, and 47 rank past #1,000, outside the committed top-1,000 file. The table's last row, Xiara, still carries 12 births at #8,831; any X girl names below it are outside the committed per-letter depth of 50 and are not shown.
Between #183 (Ximena, 1,686 births) and #8,831 (Xiara, 12), the 50 rows of the 2025 X table hold 4,942 births in all, a top-to-bottom count ratio of 140.5. The middle row, the 25th, is Xela at #4,979 with 27 births in 2025. The widest jump between consecutive rows is 865 ranks, from Xiadani (#7,469) to Xayah (#8,334); every 2025 girl name at the ranks between them begins with another letter. 18 rows carry exactly the count of the row above them, ordered by the SSA's alphabetical tie rule; the first such pair is Xalia (#3,772) and Xara (#3,773), at 40 births each. No name in the 2025 X table ranks inside the overall top 100; the nearest is Ximena at #183, followed by Xiomara at #463.
How a rank like #183 is assigned, including the SSA's alphabetical tie-break between equal counts, is explained in Reading ranks and counts.
X girl names across the decade snapshots
X girl names appear in the top 200 in 1 of the 7 snapshot years: 2015 (1 name, led by Ximena at #125 with 2,602 births). In the other 6 (1955, 1965, 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005), no X girl name reached rank 200, which is where the committed decade files stop. Ximena was the leading X girl name in the 2015 snapshot, and Ximena leads again in 2025, at #183.
| Snapshot | X names in top 200 | Leading X name | Rank | Babies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1950s (1955) | 0 | — | — | — |
| 1960s (1965) | 0 | — | — | — |

Measured as a share of top-200 girl births, X runs 0.0% in 1955, 0.0% in 1965, 0.0% in 1975, 0.0% in 1985, 0.0% in 1995, 0.0% in 2005 and 0.3% in 2015 — a high of 0.3% in 2015 and a low of 0.0% in 1955. Cut to the same top-200 depth, the 2025 list holds 1 X name with 0.2% of its births, led by Ximena at #183. To read those 7 X shares against the other 25 initials, for girls and for boys, see First-letter trends since 1955, where each snapshot column carries all 26 shares; the full index is on the data guides page.
Faded and new X girl names
Nothing has faded at the committed depths: each X girl name found in a snapshot top 200 is still on the 2025 list, and 1 of the table's 50 rows has at least one snapshot appearance.
The 2025 table also carries 49 names that no snapshot top 200 contains: Xiomara (#463), Xyla (#763), Xochitl (#1,101), Xolani (#1,124), Xamira (#1,182), Xitlali (#1,234), Xena (#1,270), Xalori (#2,015), Xareni (#2,581), Xylah (#2,605), Xenia (#2,931) and Xitlaly (#3,097), and 37 more. That records only that none of the 49, Xiomara at #463 included, ranked inside the top 200 in 1955, 1965, 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005, 2015; the snapshot files stop at that rank, so any of them can have been registered below it in any of those years.
The shape of the 2025 X list
On the SSA spelling, 11 of the 50 names in the 2025 X table have four letters or fewer, 39 have five to seven, and 0 have eight or more. Take each length class on its own and the 2025 X list shows no long spelling at all, 39 medium spellings from Ximena at #183 to Xiara at #8,831, and 11 short spellings from Xyla at #763 to Xyra at #8,335. By letter count, Xya is the shortest spelling in the 2025 table (3 letters, #4,263) and Xiomara the longest (7 letters, #463). "a" is the second letter of 21 of the 50 names in the 2025 X table, "i" of 13, and "y" of 7; 6 second letters are used in total.
The 2025 boys' X list and this one have no spelling in common within the committed per-letter depth (at most 50 names per initial).
X girl names: questions the data answers
What is the most popular girl name starting with X in 2025?
Ximena. The 2025 SSA data records 1,686 girls named Ximena, which places it at #183 among all girl names that year.
How many girl names starting with X are in the 2025 top 1,000?
3. Together they account for 0.2% of the births in the 2025 top 1,000, the 24th-largest share among the 26 initials.
Why does this page list 50 X girl names?
The committed per-letter file holds the 50 most-registered 2025 girl names for each initial, and X fills it: the 50th row is Xiara at #8,831. Any X names below that cut are outside the committed depth and are not shown.
Which X girl name on this page has the lowest rank?
Xiara, at #8,831 with 12 births in 2025. Ranks are overall positions among all 2025 girl names, so the span from #183 to #8,831 covers names that start with other letters.
How many X girl names were in the top 200 in 1955 and in 2015?
None in 1955 and 1 in 2015 (led by Ximena at #125). Those are counts inside one SSA year's top 200; over the 7 snapshots the X count ranges from 0 (1955) to 1 (2015).
Do any of these X girl names also appear on the boys' X list for 2025?
No. Set against the 50-name boys' X list for 2025, none of these 50 spellings, from Ximena to Xiara, repeats; the SSA ranks each sex on its own, so any shared spelling would have two separate ranks.
